According to Metrolinx, they are facing a potential legal challenge by Crosslinx Transit Solutions , which is constructing the Eglinton Crosstown LRT across Toronto., Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster said the builder was planning to litigate and stop working with the TTC.
“This is another unacceptable delay tactic by CTS at a time when they should be submitting a credible schedule to Metrolinx for completing the project,” said Verster. “While Metrolinx is driving and supporting CTS to complete the project, CTS is looking for new ways to make financial claims. CTS’s behaviour continues to be disappointing, especially for our Toronto communities who have been waiting patiently for the completion of this project.
“Metrolinx will defend this latest legal challenge by CTS as we have done several times before,” he added. “The cost of CTS’s delays are for CTS to bear. Metrolinx is already withholding significant payments for poor performance. We will continue to hold CTS to account and examine every remedy under the Project Agreement to ensure the project is delivered to a high quality and that it is safe and reliable to open.
It was reported in April that the above-ground subway line was dealing with quality issues, with no opening date in sight.Ctrl+Enter
